Information for Seniors

Mrs. Haldane has specific office hours for seniors.  She is available for drop-in questions after school.  If you need more time, make an appointment.

The following check list will be helpful to seniors as they choose and apply for college admission:

1. Monitor the “Sr. Announcements” and “Upcoming College Information Sessions”  links daily.  This is where you will receive a lot of college information.
2. Continue to work hard to get good grades.
3. Attend Mrs. Haldane's college workshop in Theology.
4. Turn in authorization, college planning sheet, and senior information sheet as soon as possible before the end of August.
5. Sign up for the SAT/ACT if necessary.
6. Complete college applications correctly and thoroughly
7. Follow Tampa Catholic deadlines for school documentation.
8. Athletes: be sure to file NCAA Clearinghouse.
9. Send applications well before the deadlines.
10. Complete financial aid and scholarship forms (December and January)
11. Make final decision
12. Send final transcript to the college you will attend.

After you have applied to college/university there are four possible responses to your application:

1. Acceptance
2. Denial
3. Deferment:  An admission decision option that requires more information from the student before a decision can be made.  There is often a required deadline for this information.  This is a second chance for the student.  Please bring the deferment letter or email to guidance for processing.
4. Waitlist:  An admission decision to describe the process in which a decision is initially delayed.  There is a possibility of admission in the future.  The student needs to follow the Waitlist directions.
